New Intersections Self-Guided Ride Coming Soon

Our rides in the Intersections Series range from 12-30 miles and are for riders comfortable sharing the road with traffic and feature content that delves deeper into the history of Los Angeles. These rides focus on content viewed from an intersectional lens. Intersectionality is a theory credited to lawyer and leading scholar of critical race theory, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw.

Intersectionality is the theory of how overlapping or intersecting social identities relate to systems and strucutres of oppression, domination, or discrimination. Our upcoming ride looks at labor in the Harbor/San Pedro area. Coming soon!

Game-Changing New Laws for California Bicyclists and Pedestrians

As the cycling community continues to boom, the California legislative community has responded with some important legal updates. From stop signs to e-bikes, the state of California is making important reforms to try to reduce the accident rate among California cyclists and pedestrians.
 

 

Looking at climate change and urban design

Data from the EPA shows that the transportation sector is actually the biggest source of pollution in the US, and that light-duty vehicles (or passenger cars) are responsible for 58 percent of those emissions.
